Apple Maps Renames Lake Ontario 'Lake America' After Trump Order

The name change is slowly rolling out on Tuesday. Source: Apple
By Mark Gurman
September 1, 2026 at 1:11 PM PDT

The modification was made for users in the US, with the Canadian version of Apple Maps continuing to show the Lake Ontario name and international versions showing both names. The body of water, one of North America's five Great Lakes, straddles the border of New York state and Canada's Ontario province.

Not dumping on Weigel but this has bothered me for 18 years. McCain’s response of “no ma’am, [Obama is not an Arab] he’s a decent family man/citizen” was widely praised but I’ve always thought his answer sucked. Those aren’t mutually exclusive!

David Weigel @daveweigel
Some 2008 knowledge that feels lost now, except for the McCain "no, ma'am" moment with the woman who thought Obama was "an Arab," is how the 2008 R campaign didn't go *that* negative.
McCain didn't want to use Rev. Wright against Obama. Campaign ran no ads about it!

Is Todd Austin running for office? 😆#TeamLittleEndian

Post by Todd Austin on LinkedIn

The TECH NEWS doesn't want to talk about it, but today EVERY computing system-every last one—is LITTLE ENDIAN.
In the dark ages of computer architecture, there were big-endian and little-endian architectures, and it was TOTAL CHAOS. Through the leadership of myself and other HIGHLY TALENTED computer architects, it became clear that BIG ENDIAN was a TOTAL DISASTER, confusing, slow, and frankly a disgrace to the world of computing. Eventually, our sage leadership FIXED it, unified it, and made memory systems BEAUTIFUL again. Last year at HotChips, a very famous computer architect came up to me (with tears in their eyes) and said, "Thank you, professor, for bringing peace and harmony to our memory systems." Today everyone knows it: computer architects LOVE little endian.
But now l've just learned something SHOCKING-maybe the biggest cover-up in the HISTORY of technology. The INTERNET-yes, the whole thing—is COMPLETELY BIG-ENDIAN! After all the tremendous work we did, shadowy standards committees and so-called networking "experts" quietly locked in BIG-ENDIAN as "network byte order." It's a GLOBAL DARK NET conspiracy designed to undermine our BEAUTIFUL memory systems and to bring back confusion, chaos, and misaligned data.
We must now come together ONCE AGAIN TO BRING ORDER TO THE CHAOS. We must END big endian once and for all. We must make the Internet little endian and make it STRONGER than ever before. BIG-ENDIAN is for LOSERS-LITTLE-ENDIAN is for WINNERS.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I love this post by Todd Austin equating running a kitchen to a modern out of order microprocessor, especially with the inclusion of precise interrupts, prefetch, and power gating.

Todd Austin • • 1st
S. Jack Hu Collegiate Professor of CSE at UofM...

I am a COMPUTER ARCHITECT, which means I design computers. I was trained at a great school (UW-Madison), and I worked in industry (Intel) before I became a professor (University of Michigan). Despite these rarefied experiences, I first came to know computer architecture in the KITCHEN, working for 4 years first as a COOK. Let me explain.
As a cook, you are the control logic of a complex multi-issue machine, which operates with many of the optimizations found in today's CPUs:
IN-ORDER FETCH: The meal orders come in-order from the wait staff, and this order must be preserved.
OUT-OF-ORDER ISSUE: With a big menu, the latency to cook items will vary greatly, from fast salads to medium-latency burgers to long-latency steaks. Cooks will scan the upcoming orders and "issue" long latency items first, medium later, and short last, to make sure all items finish at roughly the same time.

IN-ORDER RETIREMENT: Importantly, the meal orders have to finish IN-ORDER. Wait staff will get very annoyed if any out-of-order completion occurs—no one wants to see the table that sat down after them get their food first! BTW, Tapas restaurants break this rule, which greatly improves the efficiency of their kitchens. What is the computer architecture dual to the tapas restaurant?
PREFETCH: Occasionally, someone from the wait staff will run into the kitchen and yell "BUS!" (typically with the same vigor as someone running into a beach bar and yelling "TSUNAMI!"), which means 50+ additional orders are coming to your line.
When this happens, you turn on all the stoves and steak burners and start frying staples, etc.

CACHING and SPECULATION: Many of the "specials" for the night are pre-cooked and kept in an oven (cache). This is optimizing the common case, since these popular meals take seconds to make. Often, if there are specials left over at the end of the night (mispeculation), they are donated to local food shelters.
NON-DETERMINISTIC LATENCY: Efficient architectures try to avoid all non-deterministic latencies, since they stymie schedulers and gum up the works. Kitchens operate the same way: everything is prepped to give deterministic cook times.
Once, I put a steak on a grill shared with the short-order cook window. Later, when I checked on my steak, it was gone... I confronted the short-order cook, and he said, "Do you want to fight me for it?" A non-deterministic latency made my line a mess that night!

PRECISE INTERRUPTS: When the shift changes, the incoming cook will negotiate which order to transition on. The working cook will finish all their orders, after which the new cook takes over. This is called a precise interrupt, and it is similar to how out-of-order processors effectuate a process switch.
POWER GATING: Kitchens are HOT. If stoves are not needed, they are powered down!
Besides architecture training, working as a cook is a great way to start a career. All later jobs you will have will be MUCH EASIER and LESS DANGEROUS!

PCIe 8.0 has been announced, so a reminder that since Gen 3, the link transfer rate is 2^(PCIe gen), and from there you can derive the bandwidth for any link width. e.g. Gen 8 x16 = 256 GT/s * 16 lanes / 8 bits/B * 2 directions = 1024 GB/s = 1 TB/s www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

This sounded like something @srasgon.bsky.social would say, and it turns out it was. ca.investing.com/news/transcr...

Stacy Rasgon, Analyst, Bernstein: a smaller wafer size. Got it. Got it. I guess along those lines, like, does China fit into all of this? And and and, clearly, you guys have been impacted by sort of increasing waves of export controls, which have not been all that fun.
China was still buying a lot of especially those kinds of of of tools. Sometimes it's it's unclear to me who's actually doing the buying in China. I guess just how do we think about the general environment in China, the geopolitical situation? I always worry, like, what's the risk of further export controls? I mean, could could our, you know, our new president wake up one morning and, you know, after eating a bad burrito or something and decide to to cut everything off.
I mean, this is something I I wish I don't think it's likely, but I wish I could say I thought that risk was non zero, and I'm not sure that it is. So, like, how does how does Lem think about those kinds of risks?
